Best Hasselback Radishes With Miso Dressing Recipes

HASSELBACK RADISHES WITH MISO DRESSING

Steps:

• Trim 2 bunches radishes, then slice as directed (see below). Place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and drizzle with 4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and toss to coat. Roast at 425 degrees F until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Whisk 2 tablespoons vegetable oil with 1 tablespoon mirin, 2 teaspoons each white miso paste and lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Drizzle over the radishes and top with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
• Cut a thin sliver from one side of the vegetable so it can sit flat. (If you¿re starting with halved veggies, skip this step.)
• Position the vegetable cut-side down between the handles of two wooden spoons.
• Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts (1/8 to 1/4 inch apart), stopping when the knife hits the handles so you don¿t cut all the way through the vegetable.

PICKLED RADISHES WITH MISO MAYO

Steps:

• Trim the leafy tops of the radishes, but leave a little bit of stem--it looks nice. Halve the radishes, or quarter them if they are really big. Put them in a nonreactive container with a tight-fitting lid. Bring 3/4 cup water, the vinegar, sugar, salt and ginger if using to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Pour over the radishes, making sure the liquid covers them completely. Cool 10 to 15 minutes, and then cover and refrigerate at least overnight before eating. Press down the radishes into the liquid after 3 hours.
• When you are ready to eat the radishes, whisk 2 teaspoons miso into the mayonnaise. Dip in a cold radish and taste--if you don't taste the miso, add the remaining teaspoon. Serve immediately.
• The 6th Ingredient: A few pieces peeled chopped ginger boiled with the pickling liquid.

MISO-SESAME VINAIGRETTE THAT'S GOOD ON ANYTHING

Steps:

• Combine garlic, shallot, shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar in a blender and blend on high speed until homogenous. (Alternatively, mash garlic and shallots in the bowl of a large granite or marble mortar and pestle into a fine paste using the pestle, then stir in the shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar.)
• With the blender running on medium speed (the liquid should form a vortex but not jump up and splatter on the walls of the blender), slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. (If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the oil as you stir vigorously with the pestle.)
• Transfer to a lidded jar. Stir in the sesame oil and sesame seeds with a spoon. Dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Shake well before using.

STEAMED VEGETABLES WITH GINGER MISO DRESSING

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whisk the miso, water, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and chile, to taste, in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing. Serve or refrigerate in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 days.
• For the vegetables: Pour 1-inch or more of water in a wok or skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the vegetables in a bamboo or collapsible steamer. Set the steamer over the boiling water, cover, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or just until the vegetables are crisp tender. Serve warm or at room temperature with the dressing.

MISO-SESAME DRESSING

Steps:

• In small bowl, whisk together the miso, water, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and salt. While whisking constantly, gradually add the peanut and sesame oils until you have a creamy dressing. Use now or store covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.

SHEET-PAN MISO CHICKEN WITH RADISHES AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place one rack in the middle of the oven and another about 6 inches from the broiler.
• On a large baking sheet, drizzle the chicken all over with 1 tablespoon oil, then season all over with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, mash together the ghee and miso until combined. Lift up the skin on one chicken thigh, carefully creating a space between the skin and meat, and place about 1/2 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture inside. Close the pocket, then lightly press on top of the skin to spread it around. Repeat with remaining chicken thighs, adding 1/2 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture to each. Massage another 1 1/2 teaspoons mixture all over the chicken, leaving about 1 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture remaining in the bowl.
• Arrange the chicken skin-side up, evenly spaced apart, and roast on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
• In the same mixing bowl, toss the radishes with the remaining miso-ghee mixture and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• After the chicken has roasted for 15 minutes, scatter the radishes around the chicken and cook until radishes are tender and lightly browned and chicken is cooked through (the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh should reach 165 degrees), another 10 to 15 minutes.
• If the chicken skin is not as browned as you'd like, broil on the rack near the broiler until the skin is crispy and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Squeeze the lime juice over chicken and radishes, then garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds, if using. Divide among plates and serve.

STEAK SALAD WITH MISO DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil; season with salt. Add the farro and the 2 large garlic cloves. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring, until the farro is tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, return to the pot and smash the garlic into the farro. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, pound the steak to an even thickness between 2 pieces of parchment paper; season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the steak and cook, turning, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and set aside to rest.
• Meanwhile, add the scallions to the skillet. Cook, tossing, until softened and lightly charred, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Make the dressing: Combine the vinegar, miso, honey and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl. Finely grate the small garlic clove into the bowl and whisk; season with salt and pepper. Combine the greens, cucumber, tomatoes and farro in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to coat.
• Divide the salad among shallow bowls. Slice the steak and add to the bowls, along with the scallions. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.

GRILLED CAESAR SALAD WITH YELLOW MISO

Steps:

• Whisk the miso, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice with 2/3 cup of the oil in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in 1/4 cup water to thin out the dressing. Add 1 cup of the Parmesan and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a large grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Cut the romaine and radicchio in quarters lengthwise, leaving some of the stem attached to each quarter. Brush the romaine and radicchio liberally with the miso Caesar dressing. Grill until the outer leaves are lightly charred, about 3 minutes total. Do not crowd the grill; grill in batches if needed.
• Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Grill until slightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes total. Transfer to a mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the miso Caesar dressing.
• Brush the inside of the baguette with the remaining oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on the grill and cook until lightly charred and warmed through, about 3 minutes. Cut into 4 equal pieces.
• To assemble, divide the grilled romaine and radicchio among 4 large plates. Scatter an equal amount of shrimp on each plate and sprinkle everything with the remaining Parmesan. Serve with the grilled bread and remaining miso Caesar dressing on the side.
